Abstract

A tailgate for a utility hauling vehicle is alternatively held in either a closed position or a supported position by a pair of formed rods which are located at the opposite ends of the tailgate. When the rods are in latched positions, they are slightly flexed so as to create a bias which acts between the rods and the tailgate to maintain a rattle-free connection.
